Mendoza
A DC Consultores poll puts Luis Petri at 48.3%, 25.5 points ahead of Ulpiano Suárez. The survey complicates Alfredo Cornejo's succession strategy because figures from his inner circle trail badly while the strongest candidate retains autonomy from the provincial structure.
Santa Fe
Santa Fe libertarian leaders say talks with Maximiliano Pullaro are advanced, although no formal deal exists. The scenario combines a low-intensity provincial campaign by LLA with Senate votes from Unidos to suspend national primaries, while Socialists and Radical sectors remain wary.
Autonomous City of Buenos Aires
Karina Milei, Jorge Macri, Diego Santilli and Alejandra Monteoliva inspected the stage at the Spanish Monument. The city expects up to 1.5 million attendees and will deploy screens as far as Olleros, while the federal government coordinates security, protocol and stops in Luján and Córdoba.
National
The President is convening his political table before attending the November 4–5 Ibero-American Summit. The week combines education, ties with Israel and the United States, preparations for Leo XIV's visit, agreements with Neuquén and meetings with the UIA and the energy sector.
Córdoba
After nearly two months of paralysis, the governing bloc brought the leave request against Alejandra Ferrero to the floor for a third time and sent it to committee without debate. Nine opposition blocs said the maneuver prolongs uncertainty and demanded clear rules for political responsibility, due process and legislative functioning.
La Rioja
The senator confirmed her candidacy before a theater filled with women and proposed linking public health, employment, youth opportunities and balance between the capital and the interior. Her launch accelerates a crowded Peronist succession and forces the PJ to set rules before competition fractures unity.
Río Negro
Haciendo Bariloche won 34.73% and was heading toward eight of the fifteen convention seats. Peronism finished second and La Libertad Avanza third with 11.71%, strengthening the provincial-municipal alliance while raising demands for transparency on the institutional changes the majority will pursue.
San Luis
The libertarian senator has expressed his willingness to run for governor and field candidates at every level. His decision could divide the electorate that displaced the Rodríguez Saá network in 2023, although there is no public evidence of an agreement with that family; the key question is whether he builds an alternative or negotiates.
Autonomous City of Buenos Aires
The legislature approved by 53 votes an initial six-month emergency, renewable, with budget reallocations, subsidies, preferential loans and AUSA resources. A special commission must oversee fund use, 191 territorial interventions and any extension of the measure.
National
Bills on Malvinas, mental health, private property, disability and the Central Bank reached committee or the floor with major changes. The government preserved passage but surrendered original sanctions, controls and tools, with Bullrich's faction serving as the main bridge to allied blocs.
Chaco
The legislature suspended primaries for one year, earmarked estimated savings of 5 billion pesos for the pediatric hospital and left Peronism without a state mechanism to organize candidacies. With Capitanich out of the provincial race, mayors and factions must agree on a party selection process before the accelerated calendar.
San Juan
Fabián Martín backed the governor's continuity, avoided naming candidates and confirmed two priority reforms. The electoral proposal includes a single ballot, one executive candidate per alliance and party primaries; the juvenile bill would replace the temporary system and may require special sessions.
National
The Finance and Budget committees gathered 44 signatures among 69 members present to accept the Senate's changes. The reform focuses the Central Bank on preserving the currency's value, bans public-sector financing and leaves appointments and removals subject to an absolute Senate majority.
Autonomous City of Buenos Aires
The governor led the second day of the city's Productive Congress at Teatro Astros and projected a national alternative to Milei. The presence of groups linked to Olmos and Grabois, La Cámpora's absence and the MDF's weak local roots exposed the limits of the project.
Tucumán
The governor rejected the opposition lawsuit against Article 90 of the constitution and said he will call the senator who chaired the 2006 convention as a witness. Jaldo claims a right to one reelection; opponents seek to block his candidacy as the Peronist split moves into court.
Mendoza
Alfredo Cornejo announced US$43 million in electricity tenders and defended a US$200 million productive-conversion loan while Radicals and Peronists anticipated the 2027 contest. Absences, speeches and Jorge Brito's possible political entry shifted attention from economics to provincial and municipal succession.
